RISKONNECT’S EDUCATIONAL WEBINAR SERIES

Risk@Work is an educational webinar series designed to explore common challenges risk teams face every day. Topics include a broad range of governance, risk, and compliance issues, as well as digital risk management trends that are shifting conventional norms.

You’ll get practical, actionable insights for successfully overcoming roadblocks and making the most of opportunities. You’ll have the opportunity to earn CPE credits while learning from independent industry experts, as well as your own peers. Over 10 webinars are scheduled for 2020, each of which will be led by a dynamic, industry-recognized speaker.

GRC program leaders are often required to qualify and quantify the expected benefits of a GRC transformation initiative to justify spend. Ideally, an investment in GRC transformation offers a return that is recognized across the organization – in terms of aligning diverse processes and data, saving work hours by replacing manual processes with automation, reducing IT hours to oversee and reconcile data between siloed technologies, and reducing time needed to collect and organize risk data.

In this webinar, GRC experts Lisa Rawls and Eric Parker, both of KPMG, will lead this session, where you will learn:

• How to identify both tangible and intangible benefits of GRC transformation

• How to maximize return on investment (ROI) for your organization

• What other aspects of the GRC lifecycle will produce a holistic view of ROI
